Allied Waste Holiday Schedule 

If one of the following holidays is celebrated on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, your collection will be delayed one day.

• New Year's Day
• Memorial Day
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Christmas Day

From April through November Allied Waste will remove individual branches that are less than three feet in length and one inch in diameter on your regular trash collection day from your regular collection point in biodegradable paper bags or garbage cans with two “Yard Waste Only” labels attached. Allied Waste collects these branches with other residential yard waste. Bundled brush and branches will not be collected.

Unbundled brush and branches will be collected from single-family residences four times this year by Village Staff. For collection, brush must be placed at the curb for collection no later than 6 A.M. on Monday of the scheduled removal in neat, manageable piles. Place the cut ends of brush and branches facing the street. Individual branches must not exceed six inches in diameter or ten feet in length. Please do not bundle brush and branches. Root balls cannot be collected. To discard of root balls, place small ones inside of your trash container and larger ones next to your container. You may place brush on the parkway for collection beginning the Friday before the scheduled collection week. Please note that each street will receive a single collection during a scheduled week and that placing brush or branches out after the deadline can result in a citation and no service. The current brush collection program has been increased in 2013 to four pickups:

• Early Spring Collection begins on April 1, 2013
• Late Spring Collection begins on May 28, 2013
• Early Fall Collection begins on September 3, 2013
• Late Fall Collection begins on November 4, 2013

 
Please note that the Village will not offer the Brush Drop-off location this year.
